Thanks to Haacked for the post.
For us who have been developing for years, we are bone tired of repeating the same process every time we build new applications. We create the same layers, follow the same naming conventions and use the same database structures. At some point we have all tried to automate our development process, as for me I've been using codesmith to generate starter code given a database and it pretty much puts right about 10% of the project.
The code generated from codesmith, covers all of the basic in/out of the database such as error handling, store procedures,...
I tried to determine how web 2.0 savvy I am by using this tool - http://www.schillmania.com/random/humour/web20awareness/, turns out I'm 0%; Yeah, I may not be web 2.0 savvy but I'm definitely drive clean savvy as I wipe out all my tracks on the fly - so I guess my tiny tool works.
As a fan of Microsoft (surprised?), I had decided that from now on I will build all of my projects using the express projects - its FREE! I could have joined the contest at http://www.madeinexpresscontest.com but I didn't because I didn't want to get involved in something that I may not have the time for. Anyway, since I've been using express I've noticed that there are some critical aspects of the studios that I'm missing, but hey - we didn't have those tools a few years back so I should survive. I'll keep you guys updated as I find stuff...
Continuing what Phil @ Haacked started about ASP.NET control properties that are backed by viewstate, meaning property values are saved to viewstate and retrieved as needed. Anyway, I figured I'll expand on his post and elaborate on what I call "more than one way to skin code".
As simple as this may be, I have implemented them in several ways without even thinking about the pros and cons, oh wait - thats what I always do. Do we really think about the disadvantages and advantages of code snippets as we write them? do we spend extra minutes to determine other means...
Minutes after my ridiculous post "ASP.NET 2.0 Red Screen" I have found the problem and the solution! OK, here is the run down of what happened. My new web designer has built some wonderful designs for my up coming web applications, clean and clear of junk. So as I started coding and while in the spirit of cleanliness I decided that I will try to keep it as clean as I received it, so I journeyed into a new era of clean .Net 2.0 coding.
I probably need to write a few articles on how to write clean code using .NET with a focus on...
As famous as blue screen was, ASP.NET has its own version - called red screen. Yeah, today I got one of those that I thought was resolved from the move to 2.0 from 1.1. So much for 2.0 stability. I still haven't figured out what the problem is, I'll post an update if I find any - hopefully. What is App_Web_v0cexisj?

Guy Kawasaki made a post about doing business in 2006. He was actually blogging about the World Bank published report about doing business in 2006. Anyway he talked about what he got from the report and yes, he posted about my home town Sierra Leone.
If you paid all your business taxes in Sierra Leone, you would pay 164% of gross profit.
